Did an instance, nothing gave experience. (Level 50)

only having 3 dungeons to get exp from 50-60 is crazy. There's really not much more to say about it.

Just doing the quests in each zone tends to level you up appropriately for each new aspect you unlock, the pacing is very good through questing including main story quests in order to promote and push people to actually take part in the story lines present instead of just grinding dungeons or fates to 60. I for one appreciate the way they have done it and the amount of dungeons is plenty enough if actually do a lot of questing that is by proxy teaching you the lore, events and about the people of Ishgard. For example I do all the quests present in a HW zone which allows me to be level appropriate for the next by the time I am finished including level appropriate for the next dungeon, trial and story progression without the need to do a single fate grind at all or repeated dungeon grind and that is without having to do any challenge logs, sightseeing logs etc.

The amount of quests that are given to you is absolutely unreal. I've left sidequests behind in several zones now (and more appeared after I'd left those areas as well) simply because I'd progressed further in the story. At this point I'll just save them for when I level up my next class. Secondary classes will also go faster because you won't need to explore.

It took around over 2 million EXP to go from around 55-56 and almost 3 million to go from 56-57 (I'm only 57 at the moment) so the novelty of using lowbie dungeons would wear off pretty quick trying to level to 60 that way.

The higher the difference between the level of the job and the level of the dungeon, the higher the exp bonus the roulette give you.

Most quests earn you about 30k experience. At this stage in my white mage (level 56) I need approximately 2.6 million experience points to reach my goal. It would take 87 such quests to hit my next level.

Story quests give a nice amount of XP, but those are a one-off so they're not going to be available for other jobs I might level. That basically leaves the level 51+ dungeons to get experience in which is just ridiculous. As for the roulette bonus, while nice it's only once per day, so it's never going to be your main source of experience in the game.

Let's be honest, there's no good reason why the level 50 dungeons shouldn't give experience points. Their only reasoning behind it is to get us to do the newer content. An argument which falls flat on its face when you realize that only level 51+ can actually participate in any of it, so any current level 50 jobs are going to be grinding lowbie dungeons regardless.

I did Lost City of Ambapoor and nothing gave any experience. I don't understand this at all. Can anyone explain?

Yoshida can explain it

With the way the hard and expert dungeons from A Realm Reborn will be kept separate [[from Heavensward content]], will it be possible to level up there?

Yoshida: It was a tough decision, but we decided to leave it so that you will not obtain experience there at the start of Heavensward. As a development team, we believe that moving on past level 50 should happen on the Ishgard side. Because the new dungeons have a different pacing than the ones from A Realm Reborn, we were also afraid that people would gravitate towards the older instanced dungeons for more efficient experience.

After the situation settles down from the release of Heavensward, we might change things around by assigning some experience value, but that remains to be seen.

There are also 3-4 daily roulettes

You only gain experience in level 50 dungeons upon completion of the dungeon.

It's a bit wonky. You would think you should get some kind of exp, but I suppose if that was allowed people would just spam the current level 50 dungeons until they hit 60. So perhaps that's why they didn't make this work that way.
